1. Helmut's Poem

"My partner echoes all my moves in perfect harmony,

  A silent conversation for everyone to see..."

In addition to being a consummate ballroom dancer and musician, Helmut Licht is also a poet and an abstract artist.  The two lines in quotations above are extracted from his wonderful poem "Dancing!".  A Shakespeare sonnet couldn't say it better - in just 18 lines Helmut's poem captures the spirit of ballroom dancing.  For our donors Ballroom Time is making available two commemorative editions of "Dancing!", embossed with our logo, framed and ready to display. 

Suggested donation is $100 for the poem printed on special 8 1/2" x 11" gold-or silver-foil paper with a commemorative dedication of your choice, embossed with the Ballroom Time seal, framed, under glass, and ready to display on your desk or wall.  This is an ideal gift for the special dancer in your life.

Or donate $250 for a numbered limited-edition 12"x15" piece of art commemorating Helmut's debut performance in the Spanish Ballroom and signed by Helmut himself (as pictured above).  This signed commemorative edition of the poem is a collector's item... and could also make the perfect gift for that special dancer in your life.
